Equally Obnoxious Hockey Trash Talk Thread, eh?

Bruins restored my faith tonight by dismantling the Panthers on their own ice before yakking up a couple of garbage time goals, ending at 4-2 B's.

Bruins out skated Florida and didn't let up 'til it was essentially a done game. Two thumbs up!

Cheers!

Islanders set an NHL playoff record by scoring 4 times in 2:18. The first of those was the important one.

 

[passedpawn]

Son and I headed to Amelie Arena tonight. Go bolts!

 

[JohnSand]

Three of four games went to OT last night. Good hockey.

 

[day_trippr]

Bruins took a commanding position in their series with a solid 6-2 win over the Panthers this afternoon down in The Greater Fort Lauderdale Area. I could easily see this series ending Wednesday back in Boston.

Meanwhile the announcers clearly are missing a great game



Cheers!

"Stayin' alive, stayin' alive, ah ah ah ah Stayin Aliiiiive!"

Bruins #1 goalie and almost certain Vezina Trophy winner found a stupid way to lose a playoff game by overplaying a puck he could have left for a defenseman, and so the series will be heading south for Game Six (dammit!)...

 

[day_trippr]

If I was a betting person I would put my money on the Panthers beating the Bruins to win this series. Bruins have looked terrible the last two games while Florida is playing way over their collective heads. Bad combination for Boston fans who now need a miracle to stop the Panthers momentum...

 

[JohnSand]

Well, the Isles are out after a great series. I was hoping for a Tri-State matchup with either the Rangers or Devils.

 

[NSMikeD]

Devils righted the ship and Rangers have no answer to their checking. The last three games NY offense has been limited to dumping it in from center where the Devils are giving up nothing along the board and letting no one get open in the middle. Not even with the man advantage If the Devils can keep it up, they can win the Cup. We'll see tonight if Galant has something up his sleeves to get some offense out of his talent.

Kudos to the Devils being disciplined 60 minutes each night.

 

[NSMikeD]

......the Devils, IMO, are a team they don't want to face in the playoffs.

Boy did I call that one.

 

[passedpawn]

Let’s gooooooooooooo bolts!

 

[day_trippr]

Own goals suck...

 

[seatazzz]

I don't know much about hockey but damn the Kraken are looking good!!!

 

[NSMikeD]

Open door in the Eastern Conference now. 4 evenly matched teams plus the red hot panthers.

Kane has looked old against the Devils and Galante shook up the lines that produced the game 6 win. Should be an epic battle tonight in Newark.

 

[day_trippr]

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, the Bruins went up 3-1 in their series against the Panthers then sucked hard the rest of the way to an inexplicable first round loss. After the best regular season in league history it's tragic they'll be known for their choke...

 

[Mr Freddy]

Presidents trophy HEX continues, Panthers peaked at the right time and the Bruins were simply out of gas.

One of the reasons why it’s the greatest sport is you never know till it’s over. So many great examples of that fact already these playoffs.

There is simple nothing better i like to watch in sport than playoff hockey

 

[NSMikeD]

rangers will end up losing - getting beat to every puck and on every board. kudos to the devils for yet another complete game out hustling a very good team on every shift in the wins.

 

[JohnSand]

Having no favorite left lets me enjoy the games for their own sake, and miss some if I have other plans. I expect more great hockey.

 

[day_trippr]

Freakin' Panthers are shattering expectations and are up on the Maple Leafs 3-1 now. They just might be legit

 

[JohnSand]

Looks like the Panthers might one point their way to the Cup.

 

[day_trippr]

#8 seed could indeed win it all...

 

[day_trippr]

With Boston being a five sport (at least) town one can console one team's annus horribilis (eg: 2023 Patriots) by jumping on another team's promise (2023 Bruins - and Celtics).

And here we are with the start of the 2023-2024 NHL season, and the Boston Bruins are celebrating the 100th year of their existence and put up a video to get their fans rockin the Garden.



And the team played well tonight, taking a 3-1 game from the Blackhawks

It's a start!

Cheers!

 

[GilSwillBasementBrews]

Waiting to see how the flyers fare tonight. Certainly can’t be a worse season than the last one.

 

[day_trippr]

Watching the Bruins at home against Nashville tonight and honest to god for the first minute was confused who was who. What the hell?

As an aging "Original Six" fan I have been offended that the league has allowed interloper "expansion" teams to appropriate the Boston Bruins team colors. First there was Pittsburg (the bastids!), then Nashville, and even the freakin' Golden Knights of Las Vegas are trodding on tradition, ffs!

"Get off our ice, ya frick'n newbies!"

Cheers!

[edit] "Da Brunes" sent Nashville packing, 3-2, in an admittedly tense game. Nashville doesn't suck...

 

[day_trippr]

I hate western road trips...

 

[day_trippr]

The Bruins have opened the season in team record tying fashion at 6 and 0 with their 3-0 win over the Blackhawks. Have to set the Wayback Machine to 1937 for the first of their 6 and zip openings...

Not quite the full-on protracted mayhem of the NHL in the '70s but close enough
